Two more strange CI images with unknown streaks. One followed the other by about 25 minutes. Here they are:

The brightness of the left is just the Moon. The streaks are better seen with lower contrast FITS images:

The first streak is really pretty strange looking. Any ideas what these are?

They are very close to the moon. We have seen some artifacts near the moon, but these are different.
